Introducing myself to the forums having recently just been a lurker.
Purchased my first models the Bachman Double Fairlie and two Peco/Kato England 0-4-0s Prince and Princess.
Never built a layout but looking at something manageable to get me up and going. Nearly forgot I also purchased the Bachman three in a pack slate wagons painted in red.
Well I'm narrow gauge from now on getting rid of my farish locos and the Dapol ones.
I must say I'm a little disappointed that the 0-4-0s are not doc ready but otherwise they're superb.

Welcome Mark! I hope that you get the same sort of enjoyment out of the hobby as most of us here have done, sometimes for many years!

I gently advise to be selective in disposing of your N gauge stock - some of it will be worth its weight in gold in the coming years when you have exhausted your wallet on the superb ready to run stock and spread your horizons to take in making your own individual locos and stock - very economical if you already have suitable chassis to hand!

For what you do decide to dispose of, then as you are a Society member in order to be here, I heartily recommend contacting the Sales dept who will give you a good guaranteed price on any stock that you wish to sell on and I know that they are constantly looking out for N gauge locos/chassia as well as rolling stock.

Best wishes for a future fulfilling and enjoyable hobby!

Mick

Hello
I have just joined the society ( but may have been a member 30 odd years ago !
Thought I'd say hello here
It was seeing the Bachmann quarry locos in a magazine that reawakened my interest. I have two on order
